Waquoit Bay Description
Waquoit Bay is a small landlocked tidal bay on the south shore of Cape Cod in the US state of Massachusetts. The bay is connected with Nantucket Sound and separates the towns of Mashpee and Falmouth. A permit is required for the taking of any shellfish from Waquoit Bay or its tributaries (available from Falmouth and Mashpee Town Halls). Salt water fishing does not require a license, however size and quantity limitations may apply to some species. Regulations for saltwater fishing are available on the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. South South Cape Beach, located between Waquoit Bay and Nantucket Sound, contains a wide variety of coastal environments, including barrier beach and dunes, salt marsh, scrub oak/pitch pine woodland and "kettle" ponds. A magnificent white sand beach stretches for over a mile. Over-the-dune boardwalks, a small parking area and portable seasonal bathrooms make this a lovely place to spend a day at the shore. Interpretive programs are offered during the summer months. Waquoit Bay Acres: 825 Habitat: Fresh water enters the Bay from 4 principal sources; the Quashnet/Moonakis River, Red Brook, Childs River, and ground water flow. History: Salt water enters through two maintained channels and a new inlet created by Hurricane Bob in 1991. It is relatively shallow (maximum depth 9 feet, average depth less than 3 feet). It is a little over 2.5 miles from the entrance at the southern end to the Reserve Headquarters at the northern end. Recreation: Kayaking, sailing, power boating, fishing, birding.
